Radio Astronomy & Satellites - INFO SESSION 10 AM

About this event

Choose ONE of three free Info Sessions on October 25, November 1, or November 8 where students and parents can learn more about this workshop. Attending one of the info sessions is required for joining the Radio Astronomy team.

A specialized activity of NE SciTech's Space Science Club, specifically for students ages 11-17 who are members of NEST, we offer a program to teach students about radio astronomy, the electromagnetic spectrum, the atmosphere and ionosphere, satellites and how to track them, digital communications modes for space-based applications, and other topics in space science. Students work in teams to design and build a radio telescope using software-defined digital radio. After the project ends, they will evaluate their data and give a report at a conference in Marlborough in August. Students will be expected to achieve an FCC Amateur Radio License (beginner level) during this program.

This program is limited to 10 students. Students will be expected to work with others in teams. 
Attending one of the info sessions is required for joining the Radio Astronomy & Satellites team.
